In Wide Awake: The Forgotten Force that Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War Jon Grinspan examines an organization considered one of the biggest mechanisms for starting the Civil War in America. Wide Awake bears witness to the power of protest, the fight for majority rule, and the defense of free speech.

At its core, Wide Awake illuminates a question American democracy keeps posing, about the precarious relationship between violent speech and violent actions.
